Qingyun Peak, Hidden Moon Pavilion!
According to Yu Haoran's initial plan, Chu Zhongyu had to step down from the position of Sect Master in two to three years at most.
Now, with the advantage of being the Sect Master, he could take advantage of it as much as he could.
Therefore, Yu Haoran didn't care about Chu Zhongyu accepting the gifts from his subordinates.
"Ninth Junior Brother, do you know the origin of that woman?" Chu Zhongyu asked with a dignified expression after activating the sound shielding magic tool.
"I know!"
Seeing Chu Zhongyu asking about He Ruyu's origin, Yu Haoran knew why he wanted to talk to him alone after thinking for a while.
After all, as the chief disciple of Qingyun Peak, Chu Zhongyu had been responsible for all the external affairs of Qingyun Peak. He must have some information about the Xiangshan Bandits.
Moreover, it had been a few days since he took over the position of the new sect master. He would definitely learn about the Mountain Echo Bandits and He Ruyu's secrets from the sect's secret book that was specially targeted at the sect master. It was not surprising that he could guess He Ruyu's origin.
In fact, Yu Haoran never wanted to hide He Ruyu's origin when he brought her back to Qingyun Peak. He would not hide her identity as the leader of the Xiangshan Bandits from the senior and junior brothers who were like family.
Therefore, Yu Haoran answered truthfully.
"Ruyu was originally the leader of the Xiangshan Bandits!"
"Ninth Junior Brother, do you know about the grievances between our Hundred Chi Gate and the Xiangshan Bandits?" Hearing Yu Haoran directly point out He Ruyu's origin, Chu Zhongyu turned around abruptly and looked at him with a serious expression. His tone even contained a trace of anger as he questioned.
"I know!" Yu Haoran admitted with a nod and was not afraid of Chu Zhongyu's angry gaze.
"Since you know about the grievances between the Sect and the Xiangshan Bandits, you still dare to accept her as your woman and dare to bring her to Qingyun Peak!"
Slamming the stone table, Chu Zhongyu asked loudly.
"Are you not taking the Hundred Chi Gate seriously? Are you not taking me, the Gate Master, seriously?"
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're taking the sect too seriously now!"
Although Yu Haoran knew that Chu Zhongyu would definitely be affected by the power and influence of the Sect Master after becoming the Sect Master, Yu Haoran had never thought that Chu Zhongyu would fall so deeply that he would forget about the relationship between him and his fellow disciples.
However, Chu Zhong Yu was his Eldest Senior Brother, and he was the one who pushed his Eldest Senior Brother to the position of Sect Master.
Therefore, although he was very disappointed, he could only patiently explain.
"Eldest Senior Brother, it's the previous leaders of the Mount Echo Bandit Group who have enmity with the sect. Ruyu has only been the leader for more than three years."
"During this period of time, our Hundred Chi Gate has adopted a conservative plan and has not had any conflict of interest with the Echo Mountain Bandits. None of our sect disciples have died in the hands of Ruyu."
"Therefore, the sect has enmity with the Echo Mountain Bandits, and it has nothing to do with Ruyu."
"Ninth Junior Brother, things are not as simple as you think."
"As long as He Ruyu has been the leader of the Echo Mountain Bandits for a day, then she must bear the crimes committed by the Echo Mountain Bandits in the past, and she must accept the punishment of our Hundred Chi Gate."
Yu Haoran's argument just now sounded reasonable, but as the Gate Master of the Hundred Chi Gate, Chu Zhongyu's considerations were different from Yu Haoran's, and he could not accept his explanation just now.
"Eldest Senior Brother, even if Ruyu has to bear the crimes committed by the Echo Mountain Bandits in the past, do you really want to avenge the sect? Do you really not care about my face and sentence Ruyu to death?"
In Yu Haoran's view, the explanation just now was already giving a lot of face to his Eldest Senior Brother. Otherwise, according to his character, he would have turned hostile long ago.
However, his Eldest Senior Brother only considered the sect and did not care about his feelings at all. This made Yu Haoran feel very annoyed, and his tone gradually became impolite.
"Ninth Junior Brother, affection is affection. The interests of the sect are greater than everything. I will never let go of the opportunity to avenge the sect." As if he did not hear the displeasure in Yu Haoran's tone, Chu Zhongyu said with a strong sense of righteousness.
"Chu Zhongyu, don't talk about the sect's righteousness. Don't forget how you became the Gate Master."
Not only did he not care about his feelings, but he even took revenge on He Ruyu in front of him. Chu Zhongyu's behavior completely aroused the anger in Yu Haoran's heart. He could not help but call him by his name and remind him loudly.
"Yu Haoran, I know that I was able to become the Gate Master because of the combined efforts of you and the Peak Master. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
"However, as I said just now, kindness is kindness. The interests of the sect are greater than everything else!"
Chu Zhongyu roared as if he had been humiliated when he saw Yu Haoran actually call him by his name.
If not for the fact that he still remembered Yu Haoran's kindness and was still wary of Yu Haoran's secret transformation technique, he would probably have used his status as the Eldest Senior Brother to teach his disobedient Ninth Junior Brother a lesson.
"Chu Zhongyu, don't yell at me. Since I, Yu Haoran, have the ability to support you to the position of Gate Master, then I have the ability to pull you down from the position of Gate Master!"
Seeing that Chu Zhongyu had been completely blinded by the power of the Gate Master, Yu Haoran knew that words alone were useless. He could only use the cold reality to tell him that any status and power were built with one's fist.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Yu Haoran actually had the thought of abolishing his own Gate Master, Chu Zhongyu immediately felt a trace of panic.
Although he hadn't been the Gate Master for long, Chu Zhongyu had already become deeply infatuated with the power to control the lives and deaths of millions of people.
If he were to give up the position of Gate Master now, Chu Zhongyu believed that he would completely collapse.
"Chu Zhongyu, have you forgotten who I, Yu Haoran, am? Is there anything in this world that I don't dare to do?" Yu Haoran said arrogantly as he looked coldly at Chu Zhongyu.
After that, he pointed at He Ruyu who was outside the light barrier and said with a disdainful expression on his face.
"Eldest Senior Brother, even if I choose to stand by and do nothing for the sake of our relationship, do you think that you can easily take down He Ruyu?!"
"To tell you the truth, even if I transform into a Large Power King Kong Ape and use my most powerful staff technique, I still don't have complete confidence in defeating He Ruyu. Just by relying on the already declining Hundred Chi Gate."
He turned around and pointed at the Elder Peak, Law Enforcement Peak, Rising Dragon Peak, Merit Palace Hall and De Yun Peak in the depths of the sect. His tone was filled with ridicule.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I dare to bet with you that if the twelve elders of the Elder Peak, as well as the peak masters of the various factions, knew of He Ruyu's origins, strength and trump cards, not to mention letting them deal with He Ruyu, it would already be good if they didn't deal with you instead."
